  Birth	Abt 1085	Swaben
  Gender	Male
  Occupation	hertug
  Residence	Swaben
  Death	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	From Britannicus: The nearest kinsmen of Henry V were his Hohenstaufen nephews--Frederick, duke of Swabia (1105-47), and his younger brother Conrad, the sons of Henry's sister Agnes and Frederick, the first Hohenstaufen duke of Swabia. Some form of election had alw ays been necessary to succeed to the crown, but, before the great civil war, nearness to the royal blood had been honoured whenever a dynasty failed in the direct line. By 1125, however, the princes, guided by Archbishop Adalbert of Mainz, no long er respected blood right. Affinity with Henry V was no recommendation to them, and hereditary succession seemed to lower their authority in the government of the Reich. Instead of Frederick they chose the duke of Saxony, Lothair of Supplingenbur g (reigned as king 1125-37, reigned as emperor 1133-37). Like the Hohenstaufen, he had risen by a lucky marriage and a successful career of continuous fighting into the first rank of dynasts; but, unlike them, he had served the cause of the Saxo n opposition to the Salians.
